Northern Territory angler's battle with hooked crocodile
A fisherman got a surprise bite in the Northern Territory when a big crocodile took interest in his lure.

"Here we were just trolling along with a classic 200 and this fella decides he wants to have a crack at it," angler Trent De With wrote.
